I added 3 Epik High songs. Of course, they’re will be only 2 on the 8tracks playlist, because you know… But like, if I could, I would put the entire album in there. It’s one of their all time best. I’m just really sad I couldn’t go to their Toronto show :(

I had trouble with Boy with Luv at first, but good god did it grow on me like crazy. I’m sure most of you have heard it already, and if you haven’t, well, you definitely should.

I really enjoy Gogobebe a lot. I cannot really say why, but I think it’s in my top 3 or 5 from Mamamoo.

It seems that gugudan is one a path of relevance and I like it. They started with cute concept and stuff, and frankly, it was terribly boring. Now, it’s way better. Well, at least, it’s more to my liking.

One of Those Nights is really really good. The softer parts mix well with the more upbeat chorus.

Of course, I LOVE both songs from Zion.T. At first, I wasn’t sure, kinda like with Yanghwa Bridge. But after a while, I found myself singing parts of both songs randomly.

Don’t Wake Up is just nice. It’s a great song to listen to in a breezy afternoon when you feel like taking a nap after you finish you cup of tea or something. I’m going to keep an eye on Boni, she sounds promising.

I really have a major crush on Lil’ Touch, enough so that I learn the chorus so I could sing it at the top of my lungs.

COOKIES is a great song to bop to.

I’m surprise I like Oh! my mistake this much since it’s a little bubblier than what I enjoy. But I don’t know. I think maybe the chorus does it for me? But I think it’s more than that. I just cannot pit point it exactly.

Eric Nam is good as usual. The melody is very nice. There’s also an English version which is titled Don’t Miss You, which seems more accurate, but anyway.

I had to cheat a little bit for this once: there’s a Jpop song in there, though it’s still from a Korean artist. Thing is, I was on the verge of not having 8 songs for this month. I’m really considering going back to a 2 months playlist if I cannot find 8 songs I enjoy, because I don’t want to force myself to like something over the minimum of song there is in a 8tracks playlist (even though it does make sense, since you cannot really call something a playlist when there’s only like 3 or 4 songs in it…)

Anyway, I listened to Younha whole album and I highly recommend it. She’s something else in the Kpop universe. She takes risks and it pays, I think. So I put a second song that doesn’t have a MV for it (and probably won’t have one), but it’s one of my favorite from the album. The music and sounds they use for Go is really different, and I quite enjoy it. Among others, Parade and Rescue are also quite good.

Charm of Life is good mostly because of Solar. It’s also very different from all the sad christmasy music that was release this month.

I was sure I wasn’t going to like Alt + F4, but it’s fun and catchy, even though the MV is all over the place ahah.

I was considering adding Zion.T’s Snow instead of Jazzclub, but really, I’m sorry but it’s way too boring.

I love everything about Peek-A-Boo. I would have dialed up the creepiness and spookiness of the MV though, since the concept is all about Halloween-ish vibe and stuff. But hey, still a good MV nonetheless.

Here Come The Regrets is one of my favorite song of the album. It’s also the only one I can sing since it’s all in English and the lyrics are easy to memorize. Lost One is also one of the first song that caught my ear on my first listen of the album. So 2 really great songs from Epik High, again, this time around. The lyrics to Lost One are very deep and also sad, and I feel like it’s either Tablo talking to Haru or Tablo talking to his juniors in the industry, with all the shit he’s been through…

I bet I’m going to be listening to Me Like Yuh for a very long time. I don’t know but the chorus just grabs me by the hips and make me wanna dance my ass off.

I wasn’t sur about TT at first, but I’ve been waking up with it stuck in my head too many times now so I had to give in. Also the MV is really fun. TWICE is probably my fav from the new area of girls group lately.

I really enjoy the chorus of Runnin’ too. It’s just so sweet and it feels like a warm sun ray on a fall’s chilly afternoon.

And whatever you do, please please listen to Leavin’ Tomorrow. The vocals are chilling and it’s just wholesome and perfect. Even though the MV is super simple, I like the visual of the two singing, sitting in the water. Beautiful through and through.

So Lightsaber isn’t helping EXO in my world, that’s for sure. It’s really nothing special. I see the “tribute”, but there’s no real “wow” effect and the song sound like most any song done by a boysgroup from SM.

Nothing much to say, except I’ve change my mind of Brave New World and Youthhood. I like them both.

And also, I’m a little disappointed about VIXX’s comeback. It’s been a while actually that they did anything worth noticing.

I don’t think I’ll come around with 4 Walls like I did with Red Light. The concept makes no sense and the song is just boring. There’s no part I really enjoy, even a little bit. At least Red Light had some good stuff here and there, it’s the overall thing that was a bit sketchy. Now the melody make sense, it’s just not enough to save the song. Weak comeback, and even though I like Amber, I’m kinda pissed at the whole Sulli thing too and how it was (not) handle (so I’m guessing SM bullied her out), so it brings all these shenanigans to a new low.

I think I like Love Talk. I know I need to listen to it a few more time. But it’s a smooth and relax song. I like Kisum, but usually not her song. I think the more slow-paced, casual beat, added to a little hint of swing or something close to it, helps me to get onboard with the song more. Oh, and also, Hwa Sa’s voice is just perfection.

Please Just Go is also quite good, but I’ll have to listen to it more to make my opinion. And this song too is helped a lot by a member from Mamamoo…

I feel like every time is harder and harder. I’m not always sure about songs, but I still want to keep listening to them. Like, for example, I had the hardest time with Wifey, that I’m not quite sure I love still, but one day I enjoy it, the other I don’t. I still put it here because I thought it was still good enough for the list.

Also, I know Nils Frahm isn’t Korean. But since I discovered him and his music through a Korean channel (distributor of some sort), I thought I could still include it here. Anyway, it’s a the bottom of the list so, if you’re not cool with that, just skip it easily. But you shouldn’t, because it’s terribly beautiful, both the music and the MV they’ve done for it.

I fell in love with Don Quixote2. I cannot get enough of it. I already know it’s going to go on my “Best of KHip-Hop” list. Yes, it’s that good. I realized also that I have a thing for old school hip-hop with old school beat.

I really enjoy U too (no pun intended). I’m definitely going to go and listen to Dear Cloud’s whole album at some point, and even check if they did stuff in the past. Their electro sound is upbeat, yet not too much at the same time, just the kind I like.
